It actually isn't that important to stay abreast of the newest
profiles.  If you actually look at the profile, you'll see three
files.  One of them is packages, which just specifies the minimum
versions for a couple packages (in this case baselayout, binutils,
gcc, and glibc).  The other imporant one is make.defaults which just
specifies the default USE flags, which are overriden by any changes
you have in make.conf.  Probably the only thing that will change if
you move to a new profile is you *might* get some new default USE
flags, but since you probably have quite a few of your in in make.conf
this probably won't even change anything.  Also, the settings in
make.conf rarely change from version to version.


Good to know.....

thx
